I'd just get backup as close to Dalton as I could get and take a flier on any other young QB that Canales likes and we can get for a bargain whether it's draft or trade or UDFA whatever. 

And yeah use the high picks and most FA to get straight on D.

Well would you prefer he doesnt develop at all? We drafted him it’s done, let’s hope it pans out. 

Yep, that’s what I said. If he suddenly becomes Julius Peppers that would be nice.

Exactly, we have to develop rotational players, not just starters.  Not every draft pick has to be a starter.  

We have nobody at edge right now. I’d expect a 26 year old that we used a 3rd and 4th on would be developed.

It amazes me how low our expectations are right now that a guy with 1 TFL and 1 QB hit and a half sack in 4 games is a feel good story.

We need more than a feel good story. I’d bet there is at least one bench edge player on the other 31 teams that could step in and start for us right now. DJ Johnson is tied for 189th place in sacks with a half sack. That’s basically 6 guys for every team with a sack.

I don’t know why, but it annoys me when guys get lauded for below average play with no real impact. Our OL is having a huge impact, as is Dalton, but DJ is far from impact and hopefully gets replaced in the draft.

O line is set, but they still should draft some pieces to keep improving that unit. Offseason should be about fixing the defense. I think we should wait on QB unless you can get someone like Ward in the 2nd 

Set for this season - keep in mind, Corbett and I believe Moton will be UFA

Good stuff. If you go all the way down to 43 you can find a 6th overall pick in his 3rd season.  
 

Icky’s 17 losses matches the combined total of Hunt, Lewis, Corbett and Motion. 
I don’t see Zavala. 
 

 

Just imagine if we took the easy layup and drafted Cross. This could be an all time passing OL

If this OL stays like the first 4 weeks, you will have QBs asking to sign here. That was my whole point about the QB- build the team, but tepper was tired of waiting. I know for a fact he told many in BOA that watson would be a panther and stafford came was close too. The deal with baker and darnold, the team around them is better including the staff which is what has plagued the panthers. 

6 years is long time to wait and when they could not find a QB savior, they drafted/forced one. That has proved to be the biggest mistake. 

This OL is not allowing pressures and able in the run game. Got two young talented WRs and a TE that could turn a corner too. There are other darnolds and bakers like QBs just looking for a the right fit. If brooks can catch it also adds. Theres a decent group for 2025 and who knows about the cuts, geno smith could be cut. I think they sign drew lock and try to surprise the league.

Build the whole team and QBs will come.

My Canales approval had a large element of the QB whisper stuff.

Having a coach with those skills in place here when scouting Young's replacement was big positive for me.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
